Assuming you set the TSPACEFAC variable back to the default 1 and that didn’t fix it, check the text style and/or font used in the linetype definition.  It’s possible the style or font is different in one of the two files.  If the second file came from someone else, the linetype saved in the file may be differently defined but named the same as…[Read more]

three ideas for Manhattan. Geuss which one our culture can most easily deal with – resotred wetlands or a HUGE GATE!

No, if you want smaller gov. don’t be fooled again by Republican claims (really, it has been like 40 years of lying about that) but stick with the dems who want smarter government. I mean Ryans budget was giving the military all and 300% more, and even the military was saying it didn’t want that. And Romneys budget was just tax cuts for the rich…[Read more]

Not sure I am following your argument. So if you want smaller government you should vote for democrats who are apologetically for larger government.

I would think that these northeastern coastal towns  in ruin need to put some planning policies in place to to establish whole new zoning standards and master planning to redesign and recreate places in an effort to replace single family homes affected by Hurricane Sandy that were 25 feet from the ocean. We all knew that “one day” a hurricane coul…[Read more]

I am obliged for your responses.  I agree with the attitude of needing nothing and noone to continue to live in some areas – whereas we should know our place more and be called upon to work together – and as for the barrier, it needs to be finished before the next surge, not after all returns to normal or it may never get the chance.  Just build i…[Read more]

That’s the GOP myth and their sheep don’t seem to get it. Every election time, a Republican candidate cry about reducing government and NEVER actually do when they get in office. Remember Scott Brown and Rand Paul? Yeah, they sure reduced it or try to alright. This is fact: every President has increased the federal government before his…[Read more]

NO!! Never! Craig, I will never stand next to a landscape architect or Republican in my life. Not in this current lifetime or the next. Neither one has helped me in my life. I am a Planner / Investor, baby.

Yeah, it has been discussed to death, among LAs and related professions!  I guess we just have to keep reminding the general public and the political establishment.  Here is a guy, though not an LA, who is still active in advocating for the same stuff called for in “Design with N…[Read more]

Craig: This was a more than healthy dialogue and I hope those that were “Drive-by” spectators and those that “stepped in it” got something from the back and forth and the yin and the yang of it all. By last count there were over 2500 “hits” so that means this topic did get some significant attention. 
I am with you, shoulder-to-shoulder. I just…[Read more]

Agreed. Discussion is good in a free society.

PS. Are the polls doing OK with the storm issues and more importantly, did you and yours make it through OK?

You miss the point, Jordan. Republicans only talk about smaller government, they don’t DO it. We will be paying for Bush’s unfunded war for the rest of our lives, and it will continue to burgeon,as the Vets get older.
The myth of smaller goverment and republicans doesn’t want to die, they seem to be able to fool us  once, and fool us twice (then…[Read more]

It is interesting to watch the pendulum swings that are inevitable in this style of government. We have a great system and though it is frustrating, no one wins and no one loses every time.  

So bush liked to spend, but in half the time Obama has spent the same amount. If the republicans keep working for smaller government it will help to keep in check the unprecedented expansion and corresponding loss of liberty that the Obama democrats would like.
You will find that as the government has more and more control over your life, that the…[Read more]

great article by Matt Taibbi, on gettin a grip on Bush past (big intrusive government) and out seemingly inevitable future (bigger intrusive government). The myth of Bush or republicans…[Read more]

Couldnt agree more. Im having trouble deciding how much effort to put in to details and materials because of the exact sentences you quote. Im going to attend the online webinar discussed here https://land8.com/forum/topics/lare-sections-3-and-4-new-format-intel-needed and hopefully that will answer the questions tomorrow. I will post any new i…[Read more]

I’ll go out on a limb here but I think it’s the most accurate prediction anyone could make. After the election (no matter who “wins”), the country will survive with little evident change and 1/2 of Americans will proceed to disagree with the other 1/2 of Americans. And the reverse. People don’t change because someone across the street votes…[Read more]

You loco amigos are not going to change anyone’s opinion to join ranks with you. Most people already have made up their minds on who to vote for. And I’m not wasting my time arguing with Andrew’s mistake to vote for Mittens. I just know I did great under Obama’s tenure, both professionally and financially thru the stock market. And lets not get me…[Read more]

Andrew:

I thought you (and maybe a few others here at Land8Lounge and those that have frequented this particular forum) might find this an interesting exercise. The Christian Science Monitor has too many knowledge quizzes to count, but this one regarding the past economic performance of presidential administrations was particularly eye-opening to…[Read more]

I know the timeline. It did tank in 2008, but it did not bottom out until later. It is Trace who said it bottomed out in 2008.
